Daiwa SS whisker Tournament reels.

What makes them worth so much more than typical SS2600?
They are mate. Loads better.
When you turn the handles you feel the unbalanced rotor on both reels but the 26 definitely has a lot more slop and wobble in it than the 1000 despite being identical in design.
I believe the Japanese we’re building these to much tighter tolerances and to a better standard because you can feel a huge difference between them through the handle despite them looking the same.
